Getting a credit or debit card machine opens up new ways for your customers to spend money with your business. For a start, you’ll be able to take payments by card instead of cash. This is important for two reasons. Customers these days don’t tend to carry a lot of cash with them. This means that they will be more likely to spend money with you because they can pay by card. It also means that they will be more likely to spend higher amounts knowing that they don’t need to worry about how much cash is in their pockets. They also don’t have to worry about leaving your shop/stall to go and find an ATM.

Having a credit card machine also allows you to expand your business into other areas. You could set up an online shop and use your credit card machine to take payments. This could be a whole new income stream for your business. You could also take card payments over the phone for products and then post them to your customers. Both of these steps would enhance your business and increase your sales.
